因紐特人生活在北極地區(qū)，分布在從西伯利亞、美國(guó)阿拉斯加到格陵蘭的北極圈內(nèi)外，先后創(chuàng)制了用拉丁字母和斯拉夫字母拼寫(xiě)的文字。

因紐特人主要表現(xiàn)出黃種人的種族特征。他們不喜歡被稱(chēng)為“愛(ài)斯基摩人”,因?yàn)檫@是他們的敵人對(duì)他們嘲笑式的稱(chēng)呼。

【語(yǔ)篇解讀角】

【答案詳析】

1. B。根據(jù)下文得知，這里介紹的是因紐特人的生活（life），與文章的最后一句話形成了首尾呼應(yīng)。

2. B。根據(jù)下文的winter和summer判斷可知是季節(jié)。

3. B。表示對(duì)兩者否定時(shí)，我們用or而不用and。

4. C。由后一句話可推斷答案。冬夜很長(zhǎng)，幾乎看不到太陽(yáng)，也就是沒(méi)有白天，這正是北極的氣候特征。

5. A。see表示“看”的結(jié)果，watch和look都表示“看”的動(dòng)作。

6. D。夏天白晝長(zhǎng)，幾乎沒(méi)有夜晚，太陽(yáng)從不下山，所以選 go down。

7. C。由上文中那里特殊的氣候可知，他們要穿上暖和的衣服才能抵御嚴(yán)寒。

8. D。這里是指用動(dòng)物皮來(lái)做衣服鞋帽。

9. A。寒冷是北極的特點(diǎn)，可知也是樹(shù)木無(wú)法生長(zhǎng)的原因。

10. D。由下文可知，客觀原因使他們不得不用特殊的材料來(lái)建房。

11. A。由下文可知，此處說(shuō)的是當(dāng)因紐特人出去后在外面遇到風(fēng)暴回不了家時(shí)的辦法。

12. A。可與上一個(gè)選項(xiàng)一起理解。

13. B。用雪造房是因?yàn)橛龅斤L(fēng)暴回不了家，風(fēng)暴過(guò)后自然要離開(kāi)雪房子。

14. A。be over表示結(jié)束。

15. C。通過(guò)后面的but可知前面是描述他們生活不好的方面，故選hard。
